Chapter 677 Burning Bridges
As soon as the photo was released, the group chat erupted.
Samuel was escorted by two security guards to the building’s entrance and unceremoniously thrown
out in front of everyone.
The impact was so powerful that he couldn’t maintain his bnce. As soon as he touched the ground,
he stumbled and fell.
In that moment, he lost all his dignity.
Samuel slowly picked himself up, his face as dark as a bottomless well.
He raised his head and stared intently at the 28th floor of the building.
After a minute or two, a smile more grotesque than tears appeared on his face as he whispered
something only he could hear, “Let’s wait and see who will have thestugh!”
Then he turned around and limped away.
Struggling to reach the roadside, he hailed a taxi. The driver asked him where to go, and he sternly
replied, “Just drive for now, then ask me where to go!”
The driver was momentarily speechless, unwilling to argue with him. He simply regarded him as a mad
dog he had encountered.
Samuel instructed the driver to take him to Daniel’s vi. However, the driver, driven by a vengeful
nature, dropped him off on the other side of the highway and sped away.
This ce required more than ten minutes of walking even after entering the gate.
Not to mention that Samuel had to take a detour to reach the vi area, walking at least two or three
kilometers.
Anxiously, he pounded on the vi’s door.
As the door swung open, Aaden delivered a powerful kick, causing Samuel to crumple to the ground.
“What are you doing here?” he demanded.
Samuel dusted himself off, visibly displeased, but reluctantly yielded to
Aaden’s dominance. “I came today to see Mr. Hume.” “Mr. Hume is busy.” ‘But I have urgent matters to
discuss with him. It will impact the bigger picture!” Samuel eximed with fervor.
Aaden shook his head, resolute. “Mr. Hume refuses to see you.”
Samuel’s heart sank as he grasped Aaden’s intention. “I see! You just want to get rid of me!”
Aaden furrowed his brow and issued a cold warning. “Leave now, or you’ll be sorry.” ‘So, after using
me, you want to abandon me? I must see Daniel! Right now!
You can’t treat me like this!”
Aaden maintained a cold gaze as Samuel lost control. In an instant, he gestured, and two guards
appeared, swiftly lifting Samuel and forcibly hurling him out the door.
With disdain, Aaden pped his hands and sneered, “Be smart and keep your distance. Nevere
near here again.” ‘I won’t give up easily. I will seek revenge!” Samuel cursed, quickly slipping away as
Aaden approached.
In a fit of anger, he hailed a car and provided his home address to the driver. Upon arrival, he slumped
against his front door, pounding on it repeatedly, but received no response.
‘Open the damn door! Is everyone dead?” he bellowed, delivering another forceful blow.
At that moment, the door swung open.
Several menacing figures in ck burst forth, seizing Samuel and callously throwing him to the ground
inside.
“Where do you think you can hide?-
Hearing the familiar voice, Samuel trembled. He remembered it all too well; it was Keh, the casino
thug.
Just as Samuel regained some awareness, he noticed his wife tied up on the side, looking at him with
teary eyes.
But Samuel couldn’t afford to concern himself with her at the moment because Keh was holding a
knife to his face.
‘When will you repay the debt? I recall you said you could gather millions in just a few days. Where is
the money?” Keh angrily interrogated.
“I can acquire the money soon. Just give me a little more time!” Samuel pleaded.
Impatiently, Keh retorted, “You’ve had enough time. It went from one month to one week, and now
three days. How much longer do you intend to drag this out?”
Keh seized Samuel’s wife by her hair and dragged her in front of him.
“Should we use your wife to repay a portion of the debt?”

Samuel’s wife was gagged and unable to speak, but her eyes pleaded intensely.
‘Mr. Keh, please give me onest chance!’ Samuel begged desperately.
Keh sneered and tossed Samuel’s wife aside.
Then, he discarded the knife, grabbed Samuel by the hair, and forced him to look up at him. “I have
one proposition for you. Are you interested?” “What proposition?” Samuel asked, his eyes wide and
bloodshot.
‘An opportunity to have all your debts wiped clean.”
Just hearing those words, Samuel nodded frantically. “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!
What do you want me to do?”
Keh looked coldly at Mrs. Wade, and then the bodyguards escorted her out of the living room,
leaving only Samuel and Keh inside.
Samuel felt highly uneasy at the moment. If Keh personally came to discuss something, it was
undoubtedly significant.
The fact that it could erase such a substantial amount of debt made it even less likely to be a simple
matter. It might be a matter of life and death.
Keh touched Samuel’s neck and said, “Samuel, you’ve lived for so many years. I’m sure you’ve
had enough, right? I have a small favor to ask of you.”
Samuel broke out in a cold sweat.
“Rx, it’s not your life that’s at stake, but…” Keh pulled out a photo and ced it in front of
Samuel, continuing, “his life.”
As Samuel looked at the person in the photo, he felt somewhat surprised.
He didn’t know him.
“If you take his life, your debts will be wiped clean.” ‘Are you asking me to kill him?’ Samuel looked at
Keh in shock.
Keh simply smiled. “I didn’t say that. I’m just telling you that his life is worth that much.”
Then, Keh stood up. “Tick-tock, you only have three days.”
Keh casually set the final deadline, leaving Samuel bewildered. Where could he find this man?
Samuel flipped over the photo, and on the back, there was a name, address, and phone number
written.
Looking at the name in the photo, Samuel felt unfamiliar.
Leonard Lopez.
Matteo exined his ns to Manuel, hoping that he could allocate some manpower to assist him.
Naturally, Manuel readily agreed.
‘How is the investigation into the special medication going?” Matteo asked.
Manuel didn’t conceal anything and replied, “Dr. Cerf has acquired another batch of the special
medication. Old Mr. Pierce should awaken soon.” “That’s good.”
Both of them fell into silence, but neither hung up the phone. Manuel hesitated and asked, “How is
she?”
